The chef's certificate mainly includes five grades, namely: primary (national vocational qualification level 5), intermediate (national vocational qualification level 4), advanced (national vocational qualification level 3), technician (national vocational qualification level 2) and senior technician (national vocational qualification level 1). The identification of vocational qualification certificates is carried out by the national labor and social security department according to relevant regulations, and each level has corresponding requirements. For example, a senior technician "needs to obtain the professional qualification certificate of the professional technician, work continuously in this major for more than 3 years, reach the required standard hours after formal vocational training of the professional senior technician, and obtain the graduation (completion) certificate or professional qualification certificate of the professional technician, and work continuously in this major for more than 5 years" before signing up for the exam.
